Honey Mask

Mix honey and milk together *(blue milk--latic acid) and spread evenly on face. I'm 13 and have acne but mostly marks and this has done so much for my skin GO HONEY!

I've had acne for 3 years now. Right now i'm taking an antibiotic called tetraycline-- or something like that. Anyways I was searchin around wen i found out that ppl apply honey to their skin. So i tried it too. I just evenly put some honey on my acne and mark - i have been doin this everyday for a week. Some tiny results showin through, I will write an update after a month... Fingers crossed my acne will lessen down

My mom told me to use honey, after all of the medications that I had tried failed to give me the result I had hoped for. Although I didn't see my acne completely go away, the antioxidants in the honey cleaned out the pus in my pores, reduced the redness and swelling, and even stopped new breakouts from occuring. Definately try it because the honey is so much cheaper, more natural and more effective than any of those creams!

I've been using raw organic honey as a mask 3 times per week for about six months now. I started using it after reading this article here...[link removed] This article has a lot of good information on why and how to use honey to treat acne. It has worked wonders on my acne-prone skin. I used to get breakouts all the time, but I feel like since I've started using the honey my acne is under control. My skin is not 100% cleared but there is definitely a huge improvement since using the honey mask. It helps reduce redness, which is a big benefit for me. It's also nice to use a natural facial a few times a week rather than some store bought facial mask that has a ton of different ingredients in it.

I started doing the water-only regimen but I will occasionally spot treat with raw honey. For some reason, it seemed that when I was using BP and stuff, spot treating with honey would never really do much so I gave up. I got an initial breakout from the water-only regimen (I quit BP, differin, cleansers and moisturizers cold-turkey so it's not surprise, really) and I wanted something to spot treat/heal with that could be washed off with only water. I returned to the raw honey and it has been working well. I had a chin cyst/nodule last night so I put some on it and it's no longer lumpy. My acne is now light.

After roughly 6 years of persistent acne, redness, countless prescriptions from my dermatologist, and lost hope, I've ventured into more holistic solutions. I started by ordering a vegetable oil based soap from online with all natural ingredients. This replaced my normal face wash. The honey mask was meant to replace all the extra prescriptions I formally used. I like to apply the mask right after a shower, when my pores are open. I'll leave it on for 2-3 hours and then gently wash it off. After only a few weeks, my acne is significantly reduced and the overall quality of skin is better. Sometimes, I'll dab on a little honey as a spot treatment. I also recommend an avocado mask for people with extremely dry and damaged skin like mine. It leaves your skin even softer than honey alone. Honey Mask: - 1 tbsp. RAW honey (the white kind, it is not processed and has the most antioxidants) - 1 tsp. cinnamon Avocado mask: - Half of a small avocado - 1 tsp. olive oil - 1 tbsp. honey (For very dry skin: put a little vitamin E oil on afterwards, and your skin will be SOOO soft.)

When I first tried the honey mask it helped out a lot, I would do it overnight. Because when i wake up in the morning my skin has this nice glow and it reduced my acne by a lot. My skin was smoother. Except when trying the honey mask over night, it makes a huge mess.. While sleeping you should have a towel on ur pillow, so that when ur laying sideways on ur bed falling asleep, that honey mask stuff will get on the towel not ur pillow or bed. In the morning I washed it off with water, kinda gross, but underneath it left you with beautiful skin. It kinda smells bad and we'll leave that smell on your skin, so I suggest putting a ton of lotion on once u take it off. (: But otherwise it was helpful

Great for calming but you need something tougher yet still gentle for acne skin.

I'm a cycstic acne sufferer (particularly bad in the chin and mouth area). I've been through all meds except Accutane, coz I just refuse to touch that one. Meds work but only temporarily. I'm sick of all these chemicals and decided to look for something more natural. I use ORGANIC honey as a mask after washing my face. I do this NIGHTLY, leaving it on for 30 minutes before washing it off with warm water. My face since then has become clearer. I admit I'm not 100% acne free but new pimples "mature" in just a day or two, does not get inflamed anymore and redness is reduced faster with the honey mask. My chin has been its clearest since I've used honey. Now, I just get tiny pimple usually in areas where my hair comes into contact with my skin. Skin is left glowing, old scars less visible. HONEY ROCKS! Try it, you have nothing to lose. Hope it helps you as much as it did me :D

I have a hard time finding acne treatments because I have very dry skin, and all the chemical treatments I tried (including Clean&Clear and metronidazole) just dried it out further and made my skin horribly flaky and dull. Because of this I switched to a 100% natural skincare regime using raw honey every day as a mask for an hour or two in the evenings, and my skin has improved /so/ much. The honey has completely cleared up the patches of flaky skin and leaves it soft and glowing, which is the main benefit I've found. As far as the acne goes, it works, but not spectacularly. It isn't a miracle treatment and it won't make spots vanish before your eyes, but it will help bring down those tiny little acne bumps and bring any deeper spots you have to the surface. What really surprises me is that it seems to be an amazing healer! On occasions when I've been stupid and tried to pop spots that don't want to come out, creating abrasions that would normally leave a big scab on my face for a week or so... putting honey on it immediately makes it heal up literally overnight. It nearly always prevents scabbing altogether, just leaving a clean pink mark that's easy to hide with a dab of concealer. And it will hugely speed up the healing process for ones that have already scabbed over, too.
